BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a brick for pipe laying andconstruction work using this, more specifically, it is a system thatapplies to a variety of pipe-fitting construction on the wall for theinstallation of water works, electricity, etc. that has simplified themason and piping work substantially thus, has an effect of reducing thelabor and material costs, etc., while preventing the danger of havingwall crack during/after the construction.

2. Background of the Related Art

In general, a brick is formed as a flat length-wise hexahedron, that anumber of bricks are made to the wall laying them by intersecting eachother or laminating them by facing each other. Such mason work that laysthe bricks by intersecting requires an adhesive such as mortar that is amixture of sand and cement to a certain ratio.

Also, the wall unit constructed such as above requires a variety of pipework such as water work, electricity, telephone and communication wires.The pipe work can be carried out in a way that after finishing the masonwork using a regular hexahedral brick, install the pipes by drilling onthe brick wall. To perform this task, 4˜5 workers have to work severaldays using hammer, drill, chisel, etc.

However, such method requires a lot of labor work which results in highlabor cost, and due to dust created when drilling, it requiresadditional vacuum to sock in dust to provide more workable environment,it can also cause crack on the wall from the vibration while drillingafter completing the construction work as well as delay the intendedconstruction period due to too much manual work involved. Another methodof installing the pipes witch involves the installation of pipes priorto mason work presents other sets of problems. The pipe using thismethod cannot be fixed securely as it is done in an open space thus,difficult to locate the right place specified in the drawing, not tomention the difficulty in laying the bricks around them after finishingthe installation. This requires the workers to be extra careful which inturn, delays the overall construction time.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 a, in case of pipe installation that connectshot/cold water pipes to the water dwelling, an iron reinforcing rod(102) is erected at the location of water dwelling (101) to fix thewater dwelling (101) and lay 0.5b brick wall (103) on it then, connectthe pipe (104) to the water dwelling (101) and finish the work byfilling the empty space with cement or mortar.

Also, as illustrated in FIG. 1 b, there was also a method that the upperpart is formed with 0.5b mason wall (103) and the lower part is formedwith 1.0b mason wall (103 a), however, the pipe (104) which is coated isinduced to the interior of wall unit, and connect the water dwelling(101) to the iron reinforcement rod (102) then, take the coat of pipe(104) off and connect to the water dwelling (101) and fill the gap atthe entrance.

Also, as illustrated in FIG. 1 c, the upper part is formed with 0.5bmason wall (103) and the lower part is formed with 1.0b mason wall (103a) then operate the piping work in accordance to the method illustratedin FIG. 1 b.

However, when the construction work is carried out by the methodsspecified in 1 a, 1 b, 1 c, there used to be a number of incidents wherebricks got collapsed, and because the construction work was complicated,it required extra expenditure in terms of labor cost, time and materialcost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is designed to solve the said problems and byinstalling the bricks to the right places with the bricks formed withpipe entrance at the side and bricks formed with pipe groove that hasbeen induced, it eliminates a series of drilling work by the workersthus, saves the labor cost and the construction time; it does not createdust during the construction work so it is more pleasant to carry outthe work; it not only prevents the occurrence of cracks on the wallowing to no vibration but also reduces the chances of making mistakesand carry out the construction work more precisely following thespecified drawings.
